Yet again, the mainstream media is finally catching onto something the rest of us have known for a long, long time.
“These are not just big numbers in themselves,” wrote Nic Newman, Senior Research Associate at the Oxford, UK-based Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. “These creators are also attracting audiences that traditional media struggle to reach. Some of the most popular personalities over-index with young men, with right-leaning audiences, and with those that have low levels of trust in mainstream media outlets, seeing them as biased or part of a liberal elite.”
You can almost hear the hand wringing and pearl clutching at CTV.
Now, having awoken to the fact that their audience has left the building and is camping out at YouTube with Joe Rogan et al, their very next action will be to destroy all these YouTubers.
They will not try to win the audience back with better reporting and fancier women reading the news, they will bring Sandy Rinaldo out of retirement instead while they use government to shut down their competition. Because they are socialists, and that’s how they roll.
It’s pretty much the MO in Kanada since CanCon and the CRTC.

Vassy Kapelos, Rosie Barton, Adrienne Arsehole, Rachel Maddow, the View crew…etc.
Got that, bro?

It sorta fits the “things they won’t talk about” theme. The stream of cityscapes at the end is incredible.
